So, his chief economic advisor can't tell you about any specific policies? That seems, uhm, a little bit hard to take seriously. Really? What does the guy advise him on? Nothing at all? "Sen. Obama, you should have good economic policy. That's my advice".

Your argument is logically flawed. Obama did not claim his formal title was Professor.

Are you calling your girlfriend a liar?

He said he was a professor. The only logical conclusion is that he was a tenured professor by title...not served as, regarded, or any flowering courtesy title an university felt pressured or compelled to bestow on a formal employee running the presidency of the United States. Again, his formal title was senior lecturer ...NOT professor.

Everybody knows what Obama was doing. He was trying make himself more important and got caught in a lie or half lie ...however you want to phrase it. He wasn't smart enough to phrase it properly. Now, if he had said he taught constitutional law at University of Chicago, he would of been fully truthful while having the full effect of being important. No one would questioned him then.

Your statement is utterly false. There are thousands of professors who are not tenured.

I am speaking of people's perceptions, not a point of fact so thus it could not be characterize as "utterly false" or true. You could disagree with it ...is that what you were trying to get at? Of course, you could be a professor without having tenure. Reading comprehension is a good thing.

Tenured or not, it doesn't matter. He was not officially a professor. Your point is moot.

They forgot the 51st lie:

Obama once grabbed his daughters nose and told her that he had her nose! UNTRUE! It was just his thumb!

Since you brought it up, could you include links to the articles you authored together? It'd be interesting to see, even outside this discussion.

ok, so maybe she's not "Obama girl" gorgeous, you're saying to yourself. did I mention the millions of dollars? and that she sleeps with this:
